Well located in the West District district of Taichung, Star Hostel Taichung Parklane is located on the top floors of Green Park Lane Shopping Centre. It is 700 metres from Kuangsan SOGO Dept. Store, 1.6 km from National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and 5 km from Fengjia Night Market. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Private parking is available on site.

This is my second time staying here. Again, I had an amazing experience. Stayed in an all female dorm this time. The bed was comfy, the bedsheets/pillows clean and smelling nicely, and a big fluffy duvet to go with that. A thick black out curtain offers a lot of privacy. The room was spotless. The storage area for your belongings just outside the dorm was great. Big lockers & very secure (open with your room card, so no need to carry your own lock). Extra railings available in addition to the lockers for coats, shoes etc. Toilets, showers kept spotless. A lot of little touches like a hair straightener available in the bathroom and small toiletries (ie cotton pads). Breakfast was great and the hostel caters for vegetarians. Their tea/coffee facilities & little kitchen corner are handy. At this time of the year, they even had hot chocolate available! The common spaces are kept clean. Many options, whether you want to hang out with others or do a little work. Check in and out very smooth. Staff were lovely. Be prepared to wait a little for the lift as it is shared with everyone else in the building. And I suppose it was extra busy given that it was Christmas... But it's no big deal really! Definitely will stay again.... and again...

We just walked around 400-500 meters (around 10-15mins )

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Quiet hostel. Exceptional cleanliness and facilities throughout. Certainly the best hostel I have stayed in the last 10 years. Soap, shampoo, hair dryer in the shower. Towel drying rack in the balcony and shoe rack on the outside, free indoor slippers provided, good air conditioning, bedding done by staff, self service laundry, simple breakfast! Exceptional value for money! Can’t get better

    Very affordable price, and definitely comfortable enough for a hostel. The feeling of the place was interesting, quite 'Asian': they've managed to create a nice-looking lobby in what is actually a window-less space, and they have arranged the weird disposition of the building into a pretty efficient and comfortable hostel. Definitely not the coziest accommodation, but cheap, convenient, and super close to the train station.

    The best hostel I've ever stayed in! Absolutely beautiful. Loads of nice spots to sit and relax, and look out of the giant windows at a view of the city. The room was lovely and felt brand new. Even though I was sharing a backpackers room it feels like you have your own!
